The charities we support
HART of Folsom
The seeds for HART of Folsom were planted in September 2016 when the Folsom Police Department reached out to the various faith communities of the area to propose a Folsom Faith and Homelessness Initiative. This new group would work under the supervision of the police department and working with a homeless specialist (a Navigator) paid for by the city of Folsom.
As the group got started, it became apparent that the loose affiliation of the groups was not advantageous to the sharing of information nor to the planning of new functions (e.g., a Winter Sanctuary). This was compounded by issues with the initial Navigators that were provided to the city of Folsom. The group decided that rather than work under the police department, a separate organization was needed which would also make it easier to fund raise.

About Friends of Folsom
If you are reading this your are a friend, family, client, or vendor looking to give back to those who are in so much need. 11 years ago a group of friends, families and businesses now known as Friends of Folsom began participating in the Sacramento County Food Bank Annual Turkey Drive. The first year, the donation was 200 turkeys. Since that year we have joined hands with more and more small businesses, vendors, customers, members of the community as well as their families and friends to feed close to 25,000 families over the subsequent last 10 years! Each Year, the donation has grown due to more people and businesses taking part. The words “every little bit helps” have never been so evident throughout the years. Any donation is greatly appreciated. With the help of Walmart we can get a family fed for around $10 dollars.
